compiler flags which are necessary to get a clean compile. The former is
for user-specified optimizer, debug, trace fiddling. See patch 640843.
Add /sw/lib and /sw/include to setup.py search paths on Darwin to take
advantage of fink goodies.
Add scriptsinstall target to Makefile to install certain scripts from
Tools/scripts directory.
knows about plat-mac subdirectories, and configure adds a variable
EXTRAPLATDIR. These together take care of copying Lib/plat-mac to
the destination on darwin.
Adding plat-mac is still done with a .pth file which is only created when
you do a framework build. I'm not 100% happy with this, but fixing it
really needs a functional pythonw in non-framework builds, and I don't
think I can do that before 2.3a1 (but I'll try:-).
Check for readline 2.2 features. This should make it possible to
compile readline.c again with GNU readline versions 2.0 or 2.1; this
ability was removed in readline.c rev. 2.49. Apparently the older
versions are still in widespread deployment on older Solaris
installations. With an older readline, completion behavior is subtly
different (a space is always added).
us to completely decouple the framework from the executable, so we
can use a two-level namespace.
- Do framework builds with a twolevel namespace.
- Reorganized the code that creates the minimal framework in the build
directory, to make it more robust against incomplete frameworks (from
earlier aborted builds, or builds of previous Python versions).
for the time module, because somehow configure won't define the
symbols HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_ZONE, HAVE_TM_ZONE, and HAVE_TZNAME in this
case.
I've got no time to research this further, so I leave it in Jeremy and
Martin's capable hands to find a different solution for True64 (or to
devise a way to get the time tests to succeed while defining
_XOPEN_SOURCE).
This gets compilation of posixmodule.c to succeed on Tru64 and does no
harm on Linux. We may need to undefine it on some platforms, but
let's wait and see.

The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure. Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers. (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)
I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static. This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.
XXX I haven't updated the documentation.
OSX framework build process. Things fixed/modified:
- the filesystem case-sensitivity test now works for builds outside
the source directory
- various other fixes for building outside the source directory
- python.app now has a target in the main Makefile
- WASTE and AquaTk are found more automatically
library. Since multiple versions can be installed simultaneously, it's
crucial that you only select libraries and header files which are compatible
with each other. Version checking is done from highest version to lowest.
Building using version 1 of Berkeley DB is disabled by default because of
the hash file bugs people keep rediscovering. It can be enabled by
uncommenting a few lines in setup.py. Closes patch 553108.
This patch complies with the following request found
near the top of configure.in:
# This is for stuff that absolutely must end up in pyconfig.h.
# Please use pyport.h instead, if possible.
I tested this patch under Cygwin, Win32, and Red
Hat Linux. Python built and ran successfully on
each of these platforms.
[ 559250 ] more POSIX signal stuff
Adds support (and docs and tests and autoconfery) for posix signal
mask handling -- sigpending, sigprocmask and sigsuspend.

Highlights: import and friends will understand any of \r, \n and \r\n
as end of line. Python file input will do the same if you use mode 'U'.
Everything can be disabled by configuring with --without-universal-newlines.
See PEP278 for details.
or libraries also look for thread_detach. SGI has thread_create in libc
but complete pthread support only in -lpthread. Fixes#522393.

[ #417634 ] configuring without C++ compiler name
by checking that we're not about to try to compile C++ files with "yes".
Now we wait for the system where the C++ compiler *is* called yes...
